Baked Spaghetti with Chicken

Submitted by Kikimony

"Warning! This is delish! Sauce is made from scratch (Easy). The combination of cheeses and cream cheese is wonderful! I add a little less cheese than what is called for, but if you are like my mom then you will like the amount of cheese called for. The prep time may seem long b/c I included the simmering time in it."

Best baked spaghetti recipe out there. I only skipped the swiss cheese, and you can definitely sub jarred sauce for a time saver.
